About: I am an experienced Generative AI engineer who is also hands-on across the full stack. For the past couple of years I have been building RAG pipelines, AI agents, and natural language search with LangChain, LangGraph, and vector databases, using OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini models. I care about taking GenAI features beyond the demo and into production, where users rely on them every day.

Outside of AI, I build user interfaces in React and TypeScript, APIs in Python and Node.js, and deploy on AWS and Azure. I like owning a feature from start to finish and keeping the code simple.

If your team is building products with LLMs, I would be glad to talk.

Technologies:

  • Generative AI: LLMs, LangChain, LangGraph, Agentic RAG, AI Agents, Vector DBs (Pinecone, ChromaDB), LangSmith

  • Languages: Python, TypeScript, C#

  • Frontend: React, Next.js, Tailwind CSS

  • Backend: FastAPI, Node.js, ASP.NET Core

  • Cloud & DevOps: AWS, Azure, Docker, GitHub Actions

  • Databases: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis

About: I am a Generative AI Engineer who also happens to be pretty hands-on across the full stack development. Most of my recent work has been building RAG pipelines, AI agents, and natural language search — using LangChain, LangGraph, and vector databases like Pinecone and ChromaDB — with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini APIs under the hood. I care deeply about shipping GenAI features that hold up beyond the demo stage.

Beyond GenAI, I am working on the full stack — React/TypeScript on the frontend, Node.js or ASP.NET Core APIs on the backend, and AWS/Azure for infra. I like owning things end-to-end and building software that's simple and reliable.

Technologies:

  • Generative AI: LLMs, LangChain, LangGraph, Agentic RAG, Prompt Engineering, Vector DB (Pinecone, ChromaDB, FAISS), Embeddings, Streamlit
  
  • AI/ML Stack: Python, NumPy, Pandas, scikit-learn, Jupyter Notebooks
  
  • Frontend: React, TypeScript, JavaScript (ES6+), Redux, React Query, D3.js, Chart.js, MUI, Tailwind CSS
  
  • Backend: Node.js, Express, C#, ASP.NET Core, Web API, GraphQL, LINQ, Entity Framework
  
  • Cloud & DevOps: AWS, Azure, Docker, Jenkins, GitHub Actions
  
  • Databases: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, SQL Server, AWS RDS, T-SQL
  
  • Security & Auth: JWT, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, SAML, Keycloak, ADFS

Their customer service and return policies.

Software Engineer - FullStack. I write about React / TypeScript / Node

Other option is to go self-employed contract roles where you can set hours and bill rates. You can opt to work part-time and full-time based on your work-life balance and simultaneously fulfil your entrepreneurial impulses.

Very fast, lightweight. Been using for 15+ years

I have uninstalled McAfee and using the default Windows security.

1) LinkedIn 2) HN monthly hiring thread 3) Personal Portfolio / blog 4) GitHub

Main consistency about your bio across all platforms and keep engaging with subscribers or followers.

People do notice your activities and reach out to you when need arises.

Seen very talented people on HN and quality of comments is really good.

I like this thread and good to see people from different industries and verticals. Going to bookmark this URL :-)

Plugins: ESLint, GitLens, Prettier, Apollo GraphQL, Github Copilot, AutoImport, ES7/React/TypeScript Code Snippets.

VSCode with Plugins get the job done.

Be an expert in two to three things. Currently, I concentrate on React, TypeScript, GraphQL, APIs (Axios). This keeps me busy and continue to be for next couple of years.

2) Writing Queries and Joins

3) Connecting to Database native and ORM

4) HTTP Verbs like POST, GET, DELTE, PUT etc

5) Restful API and GraphQL Concepts

6) Session State, Application State, Caching and Safe Error Handling

7) Distributed Systems, SOA, Async Functions (i.e file handling)

9) Authentication, Authorization, Cryptography

10) Configuration, Minimum Privileges (e.g dbrole, server account etc)

If you want to learn new stack then please take the certification and get acquainted. Real world experience cannot replace the certification.

AWS has more popularity and acceptability. There are so much of free and paid tutorials online and one pass with relatively minimal effort.

If you are targeting to work in Enterprise sector, I would recommend to take Azure Cloud certification. Azure certs are gaining lot more traction.

Taking a Niche or Specialty certs like (AWS ML, AWS Security) will have lot more weightage during the interview process. The specialty certs are difficult to crack and need some real experience.

Here is my journey of taking AWS Solutions Architect - Associate certificate.

Good luck.

Good that Radon has responded well to that criticism and made communication transparent in his blog.

Setting the wrong tone from the position of CEO.
